🛝Bures Primary School Playground Project 🌟

We’re looking for support from our wonderful community!

The school is looking for donations and/or sponsorship to help us purchase two picnic benches and outdoor beanbags for the school playground.

These will create a comfortable, welcoming space for children to sit, learn, and enjoy time outdoors together.

If you or someone you know might be interested in supporting this project, we would love to hear from you 🙏

💬 Please get in touch or share this post to help us spread the word!

Excitingly, this is just the beginning — we have big plans to upgrade the playground over the summer, so watch this space 👀

Thank you so much for your continued support ❤️

💛 Look what our amazing school community has achieved so far this year! 💛

Thanks to your incredible support at discos, bingo nights, markets, raffles and so many other events, our PSA has raised vital funds that are already making a real difference at Bures School.

📚 From new books for the classroom�⚽ to sports kits and equipment�🎭 pantomime coaches, dance workshops and TT Rockstars�⛳ even golf taster sessions

And alongside all of this, we’re also saving towards an exciting playground project that will benefit all the children for years to come 🛝✨

Every pound raised goes straight back into enriching the children’s school experience.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped – whether you volunteered, attended an event, donated, or supported from afar. We couldn’t do this without you 💙

There’s lots more to come… so watch this space and keep supporting where you can!

🌷 What a wonderful way to end the Spring term at Bures CE VC Primary School. 🌷

The final weeks of term have really highlighted what a vibrant, caring and opportunity‑rich school we are, with children enjoying an incredible range of activities and experiences.

Recent highlights have included:
• The Easter Disco
• The Easter Bonnet Parade
• Swimming gala
• Musical theatre workshops
• Easter experiences and services at our wonderful St Mary's, Bures and Bures Baptist Church

It has been lovely to see the children so enthusiastic, confident and supportive of one another, and to witness first‑hand how much these opportunities enrich school life.

A heartfelt thank you to the fantastic staff, volunteers, families and community who make all of this possible. We wish everyone a happy and restful Easter break and look forward to welcoming the children back next term, refreshed, ready to learn and excited for all that’s still to come 💙🐣

Happy Easter from the PSA!

🍫✨ Have you checked your Wonderlicious bars yet? TWO star prizes are still waiting to be claimed! ✨🍫

The excitement around this term’s Wonderlicious event has been incredible, with lots of buzz across the school. One of our Year 2 pupils discovered a Golden Ticket, winning a class reward – a slippers (or bright socks!) day for the whole class, with the Year 2 teaching team joining in too 👣 A brilliant shared celebration.

Thanks to the amazing support from our families and local supporters, Wonderlicious raised an impressive £845, which will go towards enriching our children’s learning and experiences at school. The enthusiasm and anticipation throughout the event really showed just how special these moments are for the children.

A huge thank you to everyone who bought bars and donated prizes — and don’t forget, there are still TWO star prizes unclaimed, so if you have any Wonderlicious bars at home, make sure you open them… it really could be you! ⭐️⭐️

🌸🐣 Easter Bonnet Parade – what a treat! 🐣🌸

What a lovely way to celebrate Easter at Bures School! We were completely overwhelmed by the number of Easter bonnet entries and blown away by the creativity on display – so many colourful, thoughtful and imaginative designs. The children had such fun making them and clearly loved taking part.

A huge thank you to Enise Davis and Hayley Reader for very kindly donating the Easter egg prizes 🐰🍫 – such a generous gesture and very much appreciated.

This wasn’t a fundraiser, just a bit of Easter fun, and a really enjoyable opportunity for children to get creative alongside all the brilliant sporting activities they take part in so enthusiastically at school.

Judging by the smiles, it was a big hit!

Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make it such a happy, spring‑time celebration 🌼🐥�
Happy Easter from all of us! 💛
